Abstract
The MetS is adversely associated with markers of early arterial dysfunction, such as CCA-IMT and arterial stiffness. Although the associations between MetS and these arterial parameters are related to insulin resistance, blood pressure was shown to be the most important MetS component in relation to structure and function of large arteries.
